Ed Lynch
Edward Francis Lynch
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 230 lbs.
Born: February 25, 1956 in Brooklyn, NY
Drafted: 22nd round 1977 by the Texas Rangers
Acquired: sent from the Rangers to complete an earlier deal, September 1979;
the Rangers had traded two players to be named later (Lynch and Mike Jorgensen)
to the Mets for Willie Montanez
Departed: traded to the Chicago Cubs for Dave Liddell and
Dave Lenderman, June 1986
Ed suffered with the Mets through the
terrible years of the early '80s, and then was traded early in 1986 on the
verge of the Mets' World Championship season--a move he likened to being sent
away from his family just before Christmas. He's pictured here with the Chicago
Cubs, for whom he became the general manager following his playing career, on
his 1988 Score card. Two cards from his Mets days
appear below, as well as a minor-league card predating them.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards
listed in white text are the ones that still
remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal,
just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are
cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order
to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a
card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and
game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still accepting donations, should you
feel so moved. Contact me by following
this link: NYMHall.
